As Sock explained the rules of the rematch, Rhodes also noticed something unusual.
Rhodes noticed that compared with the extremely loose rules of the preliminary round, the rules of the semi-finals seemed more stringent.
In the semi-finals, Sock chose "spiritual power" as the theme. The effect of the magic potion refined by the mage must be related to spiritual power. Moreover, when each mage refines the potion, the Ice Blue Magic Academy will
Provide some materials for the mage to refine.
During the refining process, the mage must use up all the materials provided, and the effect of the final potion reaches a certain level, in order to pass this rematch.
During this rematch, the requirements for the quality of potions are higher. Sock specifically emphasized this point. If the mage only crudely refines the potion without any refining, the resulting potion will obviously not be effective in terms of effect.
Meeting the requirements does not count as passing the semi-finals.
In terms of material selection, in addition to using the limited ones, the mage also needs to add some materials by himself to change the effect of the potion. There is no limit to the type of materials added. The selection of these materials requires the mage himself to have a very good understanding of potion science.
.
Due to changes in the rules, in order to prevent mages from passing the competition through observation again, the rematch will not last long. After all the mages who are able to pass have passed, the next round of competition will begin immediately.
After the rematch, the next round of competition will be the last competition in Ice Blue Magic Academy. After the next round of competition, the mages who have still passed will go to the center of this academy event to participate in the real finals.
.
It is foreseeable that after the potions competition is over, those mages who failed to pass the potions competition but were stimulated by this event will continue to stay in the Ice Blue Magic Academy and conduct other activities related to potions.
.
When Suok finished explaining the rules of this potion competition, the other mages around him immediately took action. After obtaining the materials provided for the rematch, they began to refine the potion.
Even before the mages participating in the semi-finals arrived, a large number of equipment needed for refining potions was placed here. Considering that this potion competition is more compact than the preliminary round, the arrangement of materials has been completed early.<
/p>
After the demonstration of strength in the preliminary competition, the surrounding mages also understand each other. Whether it is through observation or other methods of collecting information, what level is one's own in potions and whether there is a chance to pass the potions competition?
The mage himself knows best.
Rhodes noticed that many of the mages who went on stage to refine potions first were the ones that Elrond reminded him to pay attention to. These mages who were good at potions would not make any mistakes even if they came off to refine potions first.
.
Among them, Rhodes also noticed the man North in the preliminary round.
Since Rhodes did not complete the rough preparation of potions like North in the preliminary round, North had some speculations about Rhodes's attainments in potions. Before playing this time, North
He didn't pay too much attention to Rhodes, but focused his attention on the tasks assigned by the Spiritual Association.
For North, even if there are various restrictions in the rematch, North will not have any problems simply completing the rematch.
Being able to accept the task assigned by the Spiritual Association and participate in this potion competition, North naturally has enough confidence.
How to meet the requirements for the rematch is not in North's consideration. What North cares about is how to show his strength and improve his influence among mages.
When North appeared at the venue, the originally quiet venue suddenly became noisy.
After passing the preliminary rounds of the potion competition, North already has considerable influence among these mages.
To be able to achieve this, in addition to North taking the lead and showing refining skills that were completely different from other mages before other powerful mages came on the scene, North's own attainments in potions are also extremely important.
.
Because of this, when North appeared in the field, most of the mages watching the game set their sights on North, wanting to see what North would have in this rematch.
What performance.
Even the mage who was refining the potion next to North couldn't help but feel some pressure in his heart after feeling the aura brought by North, and improved the action of refining the potion a lot. p>
North's behavior in the preliminary round has already had a big impact at this time, and his influence will continue to expand as the competition progresses.
If North can successfully enter the finals and increase his influence in this way all the way, even if he fails to win the championship in the finals, the goal that the Linghui hopes for will have been achieved.
After realizing this, Rhodes roughly guessed why the Linghui still achieved its initial plan to unite necromancers and orthodox mages without winning the potion competition.
At this time, seeing that the other mages around him were already looking in his direction, North no longer waited any longer, but began to refine the potion.
During the semi-finals, although the participating mages will be provided with some materials for refining potions, the types and weights of these materials are different, and the materials received by each participating mage will not be repeated.<
/p>
In this case, materials have undoubtedly become a difficulty in the potion competition. How to use these materials and combine them with the materials provided by the academy to produce better effects is what the mage needs to consider. At the same time,
This is also the place that best reflects the strength of the mage.
The selection of materials is the most important part of potion science, even more important than the general refining method. Combining materials with different properties often produces unpredictable effects.
In past research, the mage was able to find certain rules in the selection of materials through a large number of attempts, and knew how to match materials with what properties.
The usual knowledge can help the mage to select materials. By reading books about mysticism, the mage will naturally understand the properties of most of the refining materials.
Compared with those potion competitions that have no restrictions and only rely on the mages' previous research results to compete, the restrictions imposed by the semi-finals can better reflect a mage's attainments in potions.
